Another book on the subject:
From Publishers Weekly
Between 1949 and 1969, the U.S. Army conducted over 200 "field tests" as part of its biological warfare research program, releasing infectious bacterial agents in cities across the U.S. without informing residents of the exposed areas, Moreno reveals in this chilling, meticulously documented casebook. A professor of biomedical ethics at the University of Virginia, Moreno (Arguing Euthanasia) served on a ClintonAappointed advisory committee that blew the lid off the government's secret radiation experiments from WWII through the mid-1970s, which involved the injection of unwitting human volunteers with plutonium, uranium and other radioactive substances. His disturbing new book partly overlaps with Eileen Welsome's The Plutonium Files (Forecasts, Aug. 2), though Moreno's survey extends furtherAfrom Walter Reed's turn-of-the-century yellow fever research to the infamous Tuskegee syphilis study; from army and air force mind control experiments (1950--1975) involving ingestion of LSD and incapacitating chemicals by thousands of subjects, often without their consent, to the compulsory vaccination of Gulf War GIs with botulism toxin vaccine not approved by the FDA that may have contributed to "Gulf war syndrome." While Moreno duly excoriates the excesses and horrors, his overarching thesis is that human military experimentation is unavoidable, and he commends the army's current infectious-agent research program at Fort Detrick, Md., as a model for future "ethical" research. Some readers may welcome his coolly detached chronicle as a complement to Welsome's scathing, far more powerful expos?. Agent, Betsy Amster; 3-city author tour. (Oct.)

They knowingly injected people with plutonium and other highly radioactive substances, knowingly and secretly released infectious bacterial agents in US cities, injected people with botulism toxins that are tied to Gulf War Syndrome, gave people LSD without their consent, exposed people to all kinds of other dangerous chemical agents without their consent, and god only knows what else - but it's completely 'crazy' to wonder whether they might have been involved in HIV or even XMRV? Right, that's just 'crazy talk,' sure it is.
From Scientific American
The infamous Nazi medical experiments on human subjects represent an extreme of government arrogance. But many other nations, including the U.S., have done similar if less egregious things, usually in the name of national security. Radiation, chemical agents and disease-causing agents are tested on people who have not given informed consent and may not even know they were test subjects. Moreno, professor of biomedical ethics at the University of Virginia and director of the Center for Biomedical Ethics there, decided to pursue the subject after his service on the presidential Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments, appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1994 to investigate allegations of government-sponsored radiation research on unknowing citizens during the cold war. He tells of secret medical experiments, some ancient but most during and since World War II, by many nations. "If there is a single lesson to be gleaned from the story of military-medical human experiments," he says, "it is that we can expect them to continue in the future.... I believe it is also true that these experiments can be done ethically."
So the people who have studied all this fully expect these kinds of things to continue in the future. And yeah, sure - it will all be done "ethically." The CIA and US military - which most recently has been literally torturing people - is nothing but completely 'ethical.' Just like the CDC. Yep, it's just one big military imperialist empire of ethics, of course.
We merely had mysterious outbreaks of a strange disease in two completely disparate regions of the country - Incline Village, NV and Lyndonville, NY - completely out of nowhere, and the military couldn't POSSIBLY have had anything to do with that whatsoever - even though they are known to have infected cities with biological agents before. Right, it's totally impossible.
I know that if I wanted to completely disable an enemy force, I can't think of a much better way to do it than to give them all chronic fatigue syndrome. One day they feel like they have the flu, the next day they can't get out of bed for the rest of their lives. Pretty damn effective if you ask me, with the added bonus that it doesn't appear readily transmissible from infected hosts, minimizing the risks to civilian populations and your own troops by enabling you to target only exactly who you want to target. You couldn't conceive of a better weapon, not least of which because it doesn't just kill the person outright - which would be much less of a burden on the remaining forces - but just makes them sick and would take valuable resources to deal with them. Unless you just heartlessly leave them for dead on the battlefield and walk away.
And even if the military had nothing at all to do with HIV, or XMRV - which quite possibly they didn't - do we really think the US military has no contact with the CDC whatsoever? Do we think they wouldn't be interested in the least in this mystery disease that seems to have arisen out of nowhere and to have no known cure? If we think that, we might be beyond naive. We've already seen their mindset in cases like where the people were infected with syphilis, where they just let them go on progressing with the disease and getting worse and worse so they could observe and "study" the results. It's not a big leap to imagine them doing that with CFS, even if they didn't create or experiment with XMRV - just keep denying it and let it go so we can observe it, similar to how they deny Gulf War Syndrome even to this day. No, it's completely implausible. High level people who run the chemical and biological warfare programs in the CIA and the Pentagon are our friends who just sit around playing cards all day. That's their job. Right.
